Match facts October 13-17 2016Start time 1530 local (11:30 GMT)Big picture
Pakistan are no longer the No. Wholesale Shoes Australia. 1 Test team, having
lost the top ranking to India, but they still retain the sense of being
champions. They are set to play their 400th Test match, a landmark game in more
than one way since it will be played with a pink ball, under lights, at the
Dubai International Stadium. It will be only the second ever day-night Test,
following the Australia-New Zealand match in Adelaide last year.First-class
matches have been played under lights in both Pakistan and West Indies, but the
experience is still a new one for most of the players from both sides. The
visibility of the ball post-dusk has been a talking point, particularly with
the pink ball sporting a black seam, but there is more excitement than anxiety
among the players in the lead-up to the Test.The UAE has previous experience of
staging pink-ball cricket, having hosted the English first-class season-opener
between MCC and the champion county under lights multiple times since 2010.
Those matches, however, were all played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu
Dhabi. Dubai is hosting its first pink-ball match, and it will be interesting
to see if the stadium, which has a capacity of 25,000, can draw sizeable crowds
for the Test match.Pakistan sit comfortably ahead of West Indies in the
rankings table and are playing in familiar conditions, but they will guard
against complacency. They will be without their best batsman, Younis Khan, who
is resting after recovering from dengue fever, and are likely to feature two
debutants as well as a new-look combination with five specialist batsmen and an
allrounder slotting into a five-man bowling attack.West Indies lost their most
recent Test series 2-0, at home against India, and the margin could have been
worse if not for rain. They havent begun this tour well either, having been
whitewashed in both the ODI and T20 series, and it will not be a surprise if
they suffer another 3-0 reverse in the Tests. But they have gained a bit of
confidence from their two warm-up games, in which as many as six of their
batsmen - Leon Johnson, Shai Hope (twice), Jermaine Blackwood, Shane Dowrich,
Kraigg Brathwaite and Darren Bravo - made half-centuries, while their bowlers
also got among the wickets. It remains to be seen, though, if the No. 8-ranked
Test team can make any sort of dent in Pakistans proud record in the UAE.Form
guide Pakistan: WLLWW (last five completed matches, most recent first)West
Indies: DLDLDIn the spotlight Babar Azam announced himself with three
back-to-back hundreds in the ODI series, and Younis Khans absence will allow
him to showcase his talents at Test level. Pakistan have a strong batting
group, and Babar will need to extend his ODI form into his Test debut to make
it hard for the team management to leave him out when Younis returns.Darren
Bravo struggled in the home Tests against India, but he will be encouraged by
the fact that his overseas average (51.18) far exceeds his average at home
(29.35). He comes into the series with a bit of form behind him, with an
innings of 61 in the second ODI and a 91 for the West Indians in their tour
game against the PCB Patrons XI in Sharjah. Legspinner Devendra Bishoo also
impressed in that match, picking up a five-wicket haul in the first innings,
and will be relied on to do a lot of bowling if he plays.Team news Pakistans
Test line-up has been fairly stable over the last few years, but they have
often craved an allrounder to give them flexibility in different conditions.
Mohammad Nawaz, who is likely to make his Test debut in Dubai, could be that
sought-after player with his batting and left-arm spin. Babar Azam will come in
for Younis Khan as he recuperates from his recent bout of dengue fever.Pakistan

10 Mohammad Amir, 11 Sohail Khan.With half-centuries in both warm-up matches,
Shai Hope has made a case for inclusion in West Indies middle order. Marlon
Samuels, who has been in poor form in Test matches of late, didnt play either
game, and it will be interesting to see if he retains his place at No. 4. With
Roston Chase established as their first-choice spin-bowling allrounder, West
Indies will choose between Devendra Bishoo and Jomel Warrican as the specialist
spinner to partner him.West Indies (possible): 1 Kraigg Brathwaite, 2 Leon

UAE have come down and the weather is likely to be cooler than it was during
the limited-overs matches. Dew could be a factor, though neither side has
complained about it so far. It is understood that the ground staff have used
anti-dew spray on the outfield to minimise its impact and reduce the likelihood
of spinners experiencing difficulty gripping the ball in the evening.Stats and
triviaPakistan are playing their 400th Test match. They played their first
match in Delhi against India in 1952. In their 63 years and 11 months as a Test
team, Pakistan have won 128 games, lost 113, and drawn 158.Yasir Shah is five
wickets short of 100 in Test matches. He has played 16 Test matches so far, and
will become the joint-second-quickest to the mark if he gets there in
Dubai.West Indies have won four Tests and lost 25 while playing away from home
in the last ten years. Three of their four wins have been against Bangladesh.
The last time they won an away Test against an opposition other than Bangladesh
was in December 2007, in Port Elizabeth against South Africa.Quotes I think
there could be no better time than this to make his Test debut. He has played
mature innings and has developed well. He has played well not only here but
also in New Zealand and looks a good prospect.Misbah-ul-Haq on handing Babar
Azam a Test debutWe obviously went down in our last series, but it is a fresh
series here and we had a pretty good lead up to this Test series. We have been
here quite a while and most of the guys had a good camp in the Caribbean.Jason
Holder doesnt think his teams poor showing at home against India will have a
bearing on this series Cheap Shoes Australia Free Shipping.4 million title.
Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind,
but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability
of no-limit Texas Hold em. Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with

a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros
also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt
